Study Results

Abstract The article discusses the possibilities of the resilience of organizations in the context of a learning organization and presents the results of a survey of the leaders of regional public organizations, on the basis of which the factors of the resilience of organizations are ranked according to importance. The study results have revealed that NGOs further away from regional centres tend to focus on routine management aspects, enabling the members of the organization to communicate and collaborate effectively, meanwhile the development of the members, an essential resilience factor, was not considered as highly important.

Kamu veya özel sektörde yaşanan ekonomik, sosyal ve teknolojik değişimler, iş hayatında yaşanan belirsizlikler, değişen rekabet şartları,  çalışanların hızla değişen ihtiyaç ve beklentileri, bilginin kısa sürede değişmesi gibi etkenler sonucunda öğrenen örgüt kavramı zorunlu hale gelmiştir.Kamu ve özel sektörde yer alan tüm örgütlerin dinamik bir yapısı vardır.

The Way

How can a supreme audit institution (SAI) use design thinking in auditing? SAIs audit the way taxpayers’ money is collected and spent. Adding design thinking to their activities is not to be taken lightly. SAIs independently check whether public organizations have done the right things in the right way, but the organizations might not be willing to act upon a SAI’s recommendations. Can you imagine the role of design in audits? In this paper we share our experiences of some design approaches in the work of one SAI: the Netherlands Court of Audit (NCA). Design thinking needs to be adapted (Dorst, 2015a) before it can be used by SAIs such as the NCA in order to reflect their independent, autonomous status. To dive deeper into design thinking, Buchanan’s design framework (2015) and different ways of reasoning (Dorst, 2015b) are used to explore how design thinking can be adapted for audits.
